I'd talked to an Apple engineer about how the Chooser refuses to turn on AppleTalk after the ImageWriter has been used without a reboot in between. I think that his comments apply to a previous poster's comments about '0's at the start and end of lines after switching from LW to IW. (I'd seen it, too.) He said that the Chooser does not re-initialize the serial port; that's only done at reboot or startup time. He said that Apple intended for you to use only one kind of device on the serial port in between reboots. Hey, Apple, this is a bug! I have a modem on the modem port, an IW on the printer port, and I like to be able to hop into LW to create PostScript files for uploading. Any chance of a fix? Thanks. -- Paul Suhler suhler@im4u.UTEXAS.EDU 512-474-9517/471-3903
